Trip to Trim @triptotrim - Tumblr Blog

Wow, it's been a while since I posted! As you can probably guess, I have been slacking with my exercising and healthy eating (much like I've been slacking with this Instagram). Yesterday I started to get back on track and I'm really trying my best to stay with it. I've started the Les Mills On Demand Strengthen and Tone 30 minute program and so far, so good! Even though today was technically a rest day, I decided to do a quick Sh'Bam because I couldn't sit still. We also took a trip to a local Amish country store which has a petting zoo! I love feeding and petting these goats! https://www.instagram.com/p/By875yhg165/?igshid=1i23yylcv3w5a

Today was our last practice before the 5k! Since our 5k is on May 4th, our team went with a Star Wars theme for our matching accessories! The girls have been earning Star Wars themed pins for each mile they run and today we made cute hair bows to wear! I took one of my pins and added it to my bow and I LOVE how it turned out!! 😍 I'm as ready as I'm going to be now! My new crops from @zyiaactive came in and so did my little fanny pack for my phone. I am so excited to try them out on Saturday! 🏃🏼‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-iOvLACQT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7fbqq15o0gr4

Since I didn't have time to run at Heart and Sole today, I had to get a quick workout in! I decided to continue with my Les Mills On Demand calendar and did two workouts since I won't have time to exercise tomorrow. I usually do BodyPump from Les Mills so these two were a nice change of pace! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-8-ZtAcCW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t9a2ec0zuwg0

Another day, another workout. Today we went to Daytona Beach and visited the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse! I walked up 203 steps and the view was amazing!! I also completed a Barre workout from LMOD. It wasn't bad but I prefer the in gym Barre class more. Here's to reaching my goals while on vacation! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwp9FE7gigh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qm8yhz0zh0s3

Today was park day!! I absolutely love Harry Potter and it was so fun to be able to show my husband a glimpse into my world! Harry Potter was my childhood (and also my adulthood) and I was so happy to be able to share this piece of myself with him. I have been crushing my step goals this week so far! I also did a workout yesterday in addition to all the walking we did! Today is a break day but I'll be working out again tomorrow! (at Diagon Alley) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnXue6APjO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e4ts6x2lqd7a

Even though I prefer Universal Studios over Disney, I do love a good set of Minnie ears! Today was also my first time trying Chicken Guy and it was great!! Also peep that last pic if you're interested in how far I walked today 😂🏃🥵 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwlKq_kgFwN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5mr2repahr7n

Even though I'm on vacation, I'm making sure to get my workout in! I'm continuously surprised about how my mindset is totally different than just a few months ago. Past me would have NEVER walked around everywhere while on vacation, let alone actually complete a workout! 🏃🏼‍♀️💪 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwiUJ6EACnU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rr2ckgowns3o

Wasn't able to make it to the gym so I figured today was a great day to try out Les Mills On Demand! I did a Sh'Bam workout today and MAN did I get sweaty! I'm so glad I got up off the couch and got a workout in this evening. 💃 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdWiQyAClu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fy7o0eslgtm

In my quest to do all the laundry in the house, I rediscovered this cat skull shirt so I wore it to the gym this morning. 😂 I paired it with my newest pair of my favorite leggings from @zyiaactive 😍 These leggings never fall down and are so comfy for the gym or just lying around. They are the only leggings I ever wear anymore! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9ytYbgoI9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8d35b7l9e6zo

Okay, so I was trying to avoid just posting screenshots here but can we please talk about this calendar?! I am so proud of myself for making sure that I am working out this past month. I LOVE seeing all those check marks in my calendar and it is oddly motivating for me. I still have no idea what changed in my mind to make me want to go back to the gym but I don't care!! I am so happy with myself and my progress and I can't wait to see where I go from here! I did two workouts today. BodyPump and Barre. I had so much fun at Barre today (and sweat more than I have in a while) so I'm definitely going to keep going to that class. The last pic is just me thinking about all the leftover Texas Roadhouse steak I'm going to eat for lunch 😋😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7E5g6guEN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17oy33ef2ankx

It was Practice 5k day at Heart and Sole!! We had a great time running the high school cross country course and the girls did AMAZING!! Our 5k this year is on May 4th so our group theme is Star Wars related. Last season we all made tutus but this season we wanted to try something different. The girls LOVED the pins and I can't wait to see them earn them all! Our 5k is officially a month away! Also, after the last 5k I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma so if you have any tips as to how I can manage that better, I would appreciate it!! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2gXpQAWMc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=153ezh0xiu39m

Today was a busy day! We have a faculty meeting after school and then I went to BodyPump! I feel great now but I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow. I also learned that I really hate cooking after going to the gym. I know it needs to be done, but it just sucks. I opted for an easy meal of chicken stir fry! Didn't take too long and was so good!! It is definitely a favorite in my household. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvz9rjigCe1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sywe2zuv0bc8

Not bad but not great either 🤷. Thursday is our Heart and Sole practice 5k and I'm NOT ready for it....but we are running on a cross country course so that'll make it more enjoyable at least. 🏃🏼‍♀️ Hoping for a better mile time during the practice 5k so we'll see how that goes! 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxX1g0AAz7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yx2gjve0o0q2

Can't stop, won't stop! I only want to have one rest day per week and I've decided that it will be Fridays so I can relax after a long week of work and just chill! I tried it out this past Friday and it worked out really well! I still might try to incorporate yoga or something, but I'm still working that out. Unrelated: I got a haircut this weekend and I can't decide if I like the length or not....I mainly got it cut this short because of all the dead ends but now it's too short for my favorite hairstyles 😣 https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvBhyRAcRQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mm8mb31r5zdm

Even though I only got 5 hours of sleep, I still made it to the gym this morning! I definitely need a nap, but I'm so much happier that I was able to work out this morning. I've been going to the Les Mills Tone class and I really like it! It's a mix of a lot of different types of exercise so it doesn't get boring. It's a great start to my Sunday! https://www.instagram.com/p/BvrsvIpgJnJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p5tzq6mbxdhy

I may not be as thin as I was 4 years ago (or as far along in my journey to a healthier me) but I am just as dedicated!🏋️ It is amazing to me to see that I am actually making healthy choices and I don't even crave sweets and junk like I used to! Do I sometimes want to eat a Zebra Cake when I see my coworker eating one? Sure! But that doesn't mean that I'm going to give in to that craving. 🙅 Just today, I was in the middle of class and thought that I was hungry. Instead of reaching for a snack, I tried to drink some water first. That did the trick! I NEVER would have done that before. 🤯 I'm calling that my little victory for today (well, that and that I actually reached my peak heart rate today during BODYPUMP). Did you have any victories today?? https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhzTNFAfR9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2w57wt948ca6

Down another pound this week! I'm so excited with my progress and how I've been feeling. I've more more tired than usual but I've been feeling more positive and not as stressed or anxious as usual! I really think that this exercise is helping with my anxiety and depression and I'm very excited to see a change in my mental health as well as my physical health. Tomorrow is going to be a rest day for me but I may try to sneak in some yoga or something just to stay active! What are you up to on this Saturday morning? https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWvJKzgArM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=all1wsykng92
